The Historic Thomas House Project

Nestled in the heart of Eatonville, Florida, the Thomas House stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural legacy of the nation’s oldest black municipality. Built in 1881 by Stenson Thomas, a pioneering figure in the community, the house has witnessed the evolution of Eatonville from its humble beginnings to its current standing as a vibrant cultural hub. The Thomas House, with its charming wooden architecture and inviting porch, has served not only as a family home but also as a church, library, and gathering place for community events and important discussions. Today, the Thomas House remains a symbol of resilience and unity, embodying the spirit of a town that continues to honor its heritage while embracing the future.
